I have this ridiculous nesting/crafting bug right now, so rather than attempting to knit everyone on my list a pair of socks, which could go horribly wrong, I am sticking to what I know best, decor. Everyone loves tissue pom poms and short of ordering tons off of Etsy, I decided to see if I could whip up a few. It was so simple, especially with the slew of instructions out on the web. In lieu of a whopping eight sheets of tissue per ball, I used one single sheet per ball and cut it into eight smaller segments. The result is the perfect size for a pom pom garland. I am not one to save wrapping paper but I always save tissue paper, especially Anthropologie's. I also saved their felt circle gift ribbon to use as accents and the actual strand. And since this is Christmas, I added a few red felt circles to give it a little more cheer. The color scheme was inspired by my robin's egg blue ceiling + how fresh red and apple green look when thrown in.
